COOKIE MONSTER | CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH TART

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH TART

The first time I made this tart, I learned that some recipes CAN have too much chocolate. The thick layer of ganache I poured on top overpowered the cookie dough’s flavor! Sometimes, less can be more, even with chocolate.  Shocking, but true.  Makes one 10-inch tart.  Serves 8 to 10.
